Python中的单元测试：嵌套模拟对象

如何解决Python中的单元测试：嵌套模拟对象

我是Python单元测试的新手。我正在尝试对执行类似以下操作的方法进行单元测试：

MyClass:

    client : Client

    def __init__(client):
        self.client=client

    def method_to_test(self):
        images = self.client.get_stuff()
        image = images[0]
        result = []
        for region in image.regions:    
            result.append(region.region_id)
        return result

我尝试过模拟和嵌套所有涉及的类：Client，Image和ImageRegion。但是在某个时候，模拟失败了，我的测试失败了。有没有一种方法可以模拟事物，以便可以执行以下操作：

def test_method_to_test():
   result = MyClass(mock_client).method_to_test()
   assert dummy_region_id in result

...还是在嵌套自定义对象的这种情况下进行测试的更好方法？

我最近的尝试是这样的：

with patch('package.module.ImageRegion') as MockRegion:
    region = MockRegion()
    region.region_id.return_value = dummy_region_id 
        with patch('package.module.Image') as MockImage:
            image = MockImage()
            image.regions.return_value = [region]
                with patch('package.module.Client') as MockClient:
                    mock_client = MockClient()
                    mock_client.get_regions.return_value = [image]
                    result = MyClass(mock_client).method_to_test()
                    assert dummy_region_id in result

解决方法

您可以使用unittest.mock创建模拟对象，并使用“依赖注入”将模拟对象传递给MyClass。

例如

myclass.py：

class MyClass:

    def __init__(self,client):
        self.client = client

    def method_to_test(self):
        images = self.client.get_stuff()
        image = images[0]
        result = []
        for region in image.regions:
            result.append(region.region_id)
        return result

test_myclass.py：

import unittest
from unittest.mock import Mock
from collections import namedtuple
from myclass_63948475 import MyClass

Image = namedtuple('Image',['regions'])
Region = namedtuple('Region','region_id')


class TestMyClass(unittest.TestCase):

    def test_method_to_test(self):

        regions = [Region('1'),Region('2'),Region('3')]
        images = [Image(regions=regions)]
        mock_client = Mock()
        mock_client.get_stuff.return_value = images
        myclass = MyClass(mock_client)
        actual = myclass.method_to_test()
        mock_client.get_stuff.assert_called_once()
        self.assertEqual(actual,['1','2','3'])


if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

具有覆盖率报告的单元测试结果：

coverage run /Users/ldu020/workspace/github.com/mrdulin/python-codelab/src/stackoverflow/63948475/test_myclass_63948475.py && coverage report -m
